French Strawberry Cake

French Strawberry Cake

The French Strawberry Cake is really quite delicious. I was worried about the genoise being dry but since there are two layers of strawberries and whipped cream it turns out perfect. If you were to use a moist American cake it probably would end up mushy and overly sweet. I made the recipe twice. The second time I did not have cake flour and used all purpose flour with a tablespoon of cornstarch instead. I can't see that it made any difference. Also, the second time I did not sift the flour mixture onto wax paper but instead mixed them in a bowl with a whisk. This also seemed to be fine. The only change I would make to the recipe is to increase the amount of whip cream frosting that you make. The first time I did not have enough frosting to pipe rosettes on the top.Recipe >> French Strawberry Cake @ foodtasticmom.com
